Darling Dresden Block | Sweet On You

Wow, I can hardly believe that it’s time for the final block in the Sweet On You mystery quilt along. This little mystery quilt has been an adventure from go and I love that it has helped use every last piece in our scrap baskets. This weeks block is a staple within the quilting world and is commonly sewn in the round. For the Sweet On You quilt along, we will be working with a half dresden block design. Be sure to experiment with your colors and mix up your prints for these blocks. Let’s take a look at our Darling Dresden Block.
